I voted for "Feeling bad when I miss a raid(s)" ... kind of the flip side of what Jaella said. I hate not being able to make it to a raid (or being late) due to RL and not being there to help, especially when we end up short that night.

Waiting, waiting... waiting..... waiting..... omfgzorz WTF are we waiting on... usually ONE toon to make it to a hit (WTF!!!!) or some majorly drawn out strat discussion (that should have really been put on Forum in the detail its given in the raid)

Rarely does the ONE toon make the diff.... cant seem to think of a time when we waited for X toon and they saved the day....

Anyone read the long drawn out typed in /rsay strats ?..... they are too busy wondering how many more times we are gonna wait for 45 mins to begin an event (make Hotbuttons for detailed strats on events we do if one feels they simply must have the complete strat in /rsay.... pssstttt one can make them in notepad and then cut and paste them into charname_servername.ini .... 256 char per line limit BTW.... just like all EQ chats)

Im a big fan of spend time preparing BEFORE not DURING.... how many times do you see race car crews rebuilding the winning cars engine DURING the race.... the 5th of Never... ever see Generals saying we will take that hill!!! Get me a radio so I can tell everyone what their jobs are.... doubt one sees that much if ever.... last I knew there was LOTS of planning involved.

Remember the strats we used to go over for Ikky 4 or Inkutiktuthingy.... maps posted w/ some detail drawn on them (arrows... Named placements.... "safe" places... etc) and a fairly detailed description of what was supposed to go down... roughly LOL....

All that being said... I do think that TF RLs are doing a good job on the whole.

Pay me 50k USD per year with bennies and I'll plan raid instructions every day in advance :P

LOL... takes 15 mins..... not really worth 50k a year is it? Maps are online and copy/pastable... MS paint is $$ if you want to make some crude marking on map.... how long does it take to say whats said in /rsay but slightly more vague (ie instead of saying Jumjam or Jarsace or other tank... MT and RT and bait work great for some RLs...) Oh oh oh... guess what... you can say go to the Jelvin hit info in raiding to see whats what.. Jum is MT Brik is RT.. Naiin is bait.... wtf 50k LOL... I love it when ppl act like being a RL is soooooooo hard.. its not IF you prepare and are not afraid to delegate.....dont get me wrong.. ANYONE taking ANY of their time to RL is a position that should be respected (they dont have to if they dont want to and I appreciate that)... but I do believe I was asked my opinion.... their mistake I guess LOL
